Currently, the Fall 2013 course does not have a waiting list for registrations.
If you're interested in the course (and could not register), your best bet is to
attend, and do the HWs/MPs. And periodically check to see if registration slots
open up in the future. In past years, we've been able to register everyone who
wanted to take the course - however, due to the growing popularity of the course
this year, there is no guarantee of being able to register this year.

Some have also asked about the difference between CS425 this semester vs. in
Spring 2014. While both versions of the course have the same core content, this
semester's course (Fall 2013) is a contemporary and modern version of the course
that touches on a lot of topics that are relevant today, e.g., cloud computing,
Hadoop, key-value stores, and much more - other versions of CS425 (e.g., Spring)
may or may not have these modern components.

Academic Integrity
Policy:

We adhere by the CS academic integrity policies
outlined at the webpage https://agora.cs.illinois.edu/display/undergradProg/Honor+Code
. It is the course policy that all ofthe work you submit
for grading, or in support of graded material, as an individual or
project group,shall be your own
product, from inception to completion. Theonly resources you
can avail of in yourHWs
and MPs are the provided course materials (slides, textbooks, etc.),
and communication with instructor/TA via newsgroup and email. Please do
not reveal solutions on any of these fora. Exams areclosed-book,
closed-notes, unless otherwise speciﬁed.

We rigorously check every
submitted HW and MP (including code) for violations of academic integrity.

All violations of this academic integrity
policy are treated seriously in this course. Don't risk it - just avoid
cheating and the temptation to! That way, you'll learn more and years later you will be happier about
standing up for yourself.
